I like classical music, especially Bartok, Beethoven, Liszt, and Tchaikovsky. I also like folk music, as long as it's not that carefully sanded-down crap called New Age. Some of the old country music is great, especially Johnny Cash, Charlie Daniels and the like, but that new stuff is just pop with slide guitar. I'm not too much into blues but I have liking for Robert Johnson. I've recently gotten into exotic instruments ( well, exotic for the Western Hemisphere), such as the Turkish saz.
